Review the Full-Day K implementation indexing and exclude the schools with AAP Centers.

So the "least to need" Full Day K per the FCPS-generated index from several years back is Wolftrap, then Great Falls, then Colvin Run, etc.

Wolftrap is not a Center school (but does have Local Level IV), so it is arguably the "best" elementary school in FCPS based on the FCPS-generated index.

Some centers have great general eduation programs. With that said, I have heard great things about Vienna Elementy

There are many threads about Aap, but when looking for housing cannot assume child will test into Aap. Which school triangle is most sought after in NOVA that is not center based. Is there a better one in DC or MD?

Thank you
